They Are Now the Popular Hiding-PIace
for Small Dutiable Articles.
Since Surveyor Beattie began to appoint
women as inspectors of customs, more at
tempts at smuggling have been detected
than ever before, says the Now York World.
The women have shown great zeal and apti-
tude for"the work, and the male inspectors,
IN order to make as good a record, have been
exhibiting more activity than usual The
newest expedient for smuggling is the bus
tie. The hustle now required by fashion is
a capacious structure of wire, and ocean
travellers of the gentler sex who desire to
escape customs duties have adopted the. ex-
pedient of filling their bustles with mer-
chandise. Deputy Collector McClelland said
recently that bustles were becoming the
burden of his life It seemed as if every
third woman arriving from Europe had her
hustle filed with dutiable goods, and he
was nearly distracted. :~g IS
There was a large number Of seizure
cases reported the other day. It seems
that nearly every woman who goes to
Europe brings back q meerchaum pipe for
some male friend. In the hustle of
Fraulein Charlotte Weinmani, a passenger:
on the steamer Trave, Inspectress Weston
er discovered two meerschaum pipe bowls.
Inspectress Lily r. Brierback found in the
hustle Of Mrs. $. 81. Harbridge,a passenger
on the steamer City Of Chester, two
meerschaum pipes and one cherrywoodS
pipe. On Franlein Weinmann's person
and in her baggage were also found thirty
yards Of silk, thirteen yards Of. velvet,
thirteen yards of satin, fifty yards of linen,
three silk shawls and many other articles
of value. Some Of the stuff was concealed

and another piece was found sewed in the

were found silks and velvets Il B
J. Bierman, who arrived on the steamer
sTrave, declared he had no ,dutiable goods
He was met on the dock by q friend, who APP

him that il he would pass Bierman's trunks
